For Aashman, securing admission to the University of Chicago - his dream school - under Early Decision (ED) is a major personal milestone. Ranked in the top 20 universities globally with an acceptance rate of less than 5%, UChicago is known for its intellectual intensity and bold ideas. But for Aashman, it’s not just about the prestige - it’s about finding a place where his curiosity can run free, where questions matter as much as answers, and where his passion for science and environment can thrive and bloom.

A student at the Canadian International School Bangalore, an IB school known for its academic focus, Aashman has always pushed the boundaries of learning. His love for science and economics isn’t confined to textbooks, it’s a living, breathing part of his everyday life, from late-night problem-solving sessions to thought experiments inspired by Feynman and Einstein.
